Are CUI implants rubbish ?

by Princessgem 10th March 2014, 10:16 pm

Hey ladies, if there was an award for the most indecisive person I think it would come to me!! No wonder it's taken me 10 years to think about booking!! I was all set to book CUI with Transform but even looking through the site and not a lot of girls have had them, everyone seems to of paid more for the Naturelle, the PCC told me 85% of customers have CUI and there was nothing wrong with them so I chose those, now I'm wondering if I should of chose the others , although Mr Clarke said he would recommend CUI as they have been around the longest etc.

The other surgeon I was considering is Marcos Sforza, who uses motiva 100% full implants which are the latest new thing on the market.

What to do girls ???? :(((( xxx

I had CUI range CMH (cohesive microcell high profiles) and I love them. Mine are 100% filled and yes they only come with 10 year rupture guarantee but even with natrelle "lifetime" guarantee you would still have to pay hospital fees and they give you £700 towards the costs of surgery.. I'm only 30 and yet to try for kids so I know I will be having them done sometime in the future again. Maybe I will change the implants in the future for different brand then but for now I'm happy.

My surgeon said the ones I chose had less chance of rippling and he would prefer those on me to natrelle range which he also showed me and I agreed. So I trusted his opinion and did my homework xxx

I think the ones transform use are only 85% full? X

by kdeee 10th March 2014, 10:40 pm

95% (same as natrelle soft touch) and 100% filled (CMH ones) xxx

Ooh are they, I have done that much thinking my brain isn't functioning properly !! Ha xx

Babe, CUI are in no way rubbish at all! I know so many girls who have had CUI on here and my own friends and they have had no problems whatsoever and their boobs look exactly the same as mine (natural look wise).. They're extremely reputable and i think kdee is a prime example of how natural and gorgeous they look! :) I only chose natrelle because my surgeon highly recommended them and i'd saved up enough to get those anyway.. Also my mum would only let me have a BA if i had the absolute best of the best of implants (lowest risk of capsular contracture in other words haha).. But honestly there isn't much evidence out there to say that the natrelle are better to be honest.
Cui are great, babe! You'll get amazing results with these! Relax and stop worrying that you're making the wrong decision :)

I hope you're okay!! Take care, honey xxxx

Kdee, do natrelle pay 700 towards the op if you want to get them replaced but theres nothing wrong with them? Say if i wanted to replace them in 15 years but they were still problem-free? Xxxx

by Princessgem 10th March 2014, 10:57 pm

Thanks tiger , think I'm over thinking things and just tying myself in knots ! xxx

by tigertonix 10th March 2014, 10:59 pm

Aw bless you, babe, haha! Don't worry, we all got those nerves and doubts! Trust your surgeon, honey, he has your best interests at heart :) xxxx

aw there not rubbish at all, for me I choose natrelle as they felt better to ME thats all that meade me choose the natrelle

Tiger natrelle will only pay towards the surgery if there is a problem with the implants

But you can go bigger, snaller, different profile if you need a reop for complictaions, well i had a choice anyway xx

I have CUI's. I was offered the naturelles but there an extra £4-500 and they only offer £700 towards a new set if something goes wrong after the 10 years so seemed a bit pointless to me. I love my CUI'S everyone has said they feel/loom really natural xx

by Galeforce1 11th March 2014, 10:02 am

There are even surgeons that prefer CUIs over the natrelles! I am getting CUIs on the 29th xx

CUI's aren't rubbish, they are just an older generation of implant. But the fact that they are still being used as an option against the newer ones shows they are still a good viable option. If they were rubbish, they would have been phased out.

by Princess_x 11th March 2014, 12:25 pm

They're not rubbish, but they are the 'budget' range. Natrelle are the premium range. Natrelle are Heinz beans, and CUI are supermarket's own brand. I felt both, and CUI felt very flimsy to me. My PS also said he's not fussed on them as they are flimsier than Natrelle and more likely to ripple. Personally, I wanted the best, seeing as they are going into your body. Motiva are also a premium implant.

by tinkerbell24 11th March 2014, 1:57 pm

I wsal ike you princess when I felt them they just didnt feel right, all the surgeons I seen recommend I go for natrelle if i wanted to pay the extra, but my surgeon was honest and said it made no diff to him it was my body, but for the extra £400 I thought they are going to be in my body a long time so when you work out the daily price lol of the implants its pennies xx

by Princess_x 11th March 2014, 2:05 pm

That was my thinking too Tink :) it's going inside your body at the end of the day xx

by kdeee 11th March 2014, 2:11 pm

I think it all goes down to personal preference.
I personally preferred the feel of CUIs as I had the money to pay for the more expensive ones too. My surgeon offered me both but he said he prefers the CUI ones on me.

CUIs have undergone a long term cohort study to look into the rates of rupture, complications and reoperations etc- I felt more comfortable with them knowing they have been so well researched and on the market for so long and are also FDA approved.
I will need to change them again some point in the future and may change the type of implant but who knows what's on the market then :)

It's everyones personal choice like choosing the surgeon for you -there is one for everyone :) xxx

by tinkerbell24 11th March 2014, 3:00 pm

yeah pricess I agree

I also am glad that I went for the natrelle as I have rippling and think that had I gone for the CUI it would be worse, but then thats just a guess xx

by Princess_x 11th March 2014, 3:07 pm

It would have been Tink as they're thinner.. also they're not FDA approved x

by kdeee 11th March 2014, 3:19 pm

CUIs are FDA approved ladies.

Natrelles weren't for a while and one of their models is still awaiting a FDA approval ;) xx

by kdeee 11th March 2014, 3:20 pm

That's only because they haven't been around for as long as CUIs. That's all xx

Unfortunately, Transform's information can't always be relied upon :( they are very clever at wording things.. CUI & Natrelle Soft Touch are not FDA approved, Natrelle Responsive are though.

by kdeee 11th March 2014, 3:29 pm

It was the 410 that wasn't approved but has been accepted by FDA last year:

Apparently transform will recommend cui because they buy in bulk and get them cheaper the more the sell
